We almost missed second day of the conference, partly because we decided to take a short brake and to have a look around, partly because we agreed to change some things in our coming session. “Some changes” took whole day and night, but that didn’t prevent us from joining Customer Appreciation Event, to which people have been transported by a bunch of buses. It took place in a comfortable La Pelota place, dj was playing, and there were a lot of tasty food around, along with red wine and beer. It was really funny and cool, but we managed not to drink and to get away fast, in order to polish our tomorrow session to it’s best.

We spent whole night arguing and remaking some slides. I slept like 4 hours (had to speak English tomorrow), Anton didn’t sleep at all, showing firmness and heroism, as long as our team at the office (they we’re preparing 3D multiplayer browser “Tanks” game prototype for us).

As you can imagine, noone was very eager to get to our session at 9 p.m. next morning. We got like 35 people at the beginning, and then more yawning ones coming with coffee. At the end of the session the auditorium was half full.

We were well prepared, I was relatively calm, so we did quite a good session for our first international conference. We forgot to take pics, and Artemy from Flexis was filming us, but he got “file corrupted” arror, so we don’t have that movie for now.

After that all the pressure has gone, we joined Rob’s session, and then Anton fell asleep at the hotel (I couldn’t wake him up, and even had to get another room key at reception). I went out to take a walk, lost it magic fog, taking pictures, and was wandering around for some time.

Later Rob managed to save me by inviting to the dinner at the restaurant (one more unsuccessful try to wake Anton up). So, in a company of twelve, I spend great evening with pasta and perfect italian beer. Then I felt really sleepy and got back home.

Tomorrow: is there life after the session, walk in the centre, stylish nightclub, how we got robbed, how cops deceived us twice, police station at the night, hospitable russian embassy, pictures.
